In environmental health, he has studied the effects of air pollution and climate change on birth outcomes, identifying temperature as a key modifier in the relationship between particulate matter exposure and preterm birth. His research on maternal exposures to air pollution has provided critical insights into adverse birth outcomes. At Clalit Health Services, he employs advanced statistical techniques such as Bayesian small-area estimation and geographic clustering to detect disease prevalence patterns and inform targeted public health interventions. He has also introduced time-series modeling into healthcare research, facilitating the identification of significant shifts in disease incidence, treatment effectiveness, and healthcare utilization trends. His behavioral health research includes studies on the health effects of water-pipe smoking and the evaluation of wellness programs for preadolescents. His findings demonstrate the benefits of after-school interventions over school-based programs and support mixed-gender group strategies to enhance health outcomes. Since 2010, he has taught courses at the Hebrew University and mentoring thesis students. His teaching philosophy emphasizes bridging theoretical knowledge with practical applications to prepare students for real-world public health challenges. His future research will expand into environmental exposures, diabetes medication effects on cardiovascular and neurodegenerative outcomes, PTSD-related health risks, and behavioral determinants of health. By fostering interdisciplinary collaborations, he aims to address pressing public health disparities and advance evidence-based policymaking.
